Parking Pay Station
Pay & Display Parking Meter System
| The Hartford Parking
Authority is responsible for the installation and
maintenance of the parking meters throughout the
City of Hartford. By using Parking Pay Stations
(P&D) to set time limits, we increase the number of
motorists who can use a single parking space during
the course of a day. This increases parking
opportunities for everyone and supports the growth
of business in our city and neighborhoods.
Hartford Parking Authority is replacing most
traditional coin-fed meters with Parking Pay Station
that accepts multiple forms of payment in the City
of Hartford, Connecticut.
Each Parking Pay Station replaces seven (7) to
eight (8) traditional meter parking spaces and
operates on solar power. |
